Radiance Films and Transmission tune in to TWO BOXES: TELEVISED TERROR IN FRANCO'S SPAIN (review)

During General Franco's dictatorship in Spain, the public had veiled concerns of "disapperance" and passive disengagement explored to terrifying ends in two short television projects.  In LA CABINA, a middle-aged businessman becomes a public spectacle when he becomes trapped in a telephone box.  In EL TELEVISOR, a family man finally realizes his dream to own a color television set only to realize that it actually owns him in this short feature from Narcisco Ibanez Serrador (THE HOUSE THAT SCREAMED, WHO CAN KILL A CHILD?).
